Dear Aunt X;

I’ve always wanted to try anal, but so many of my girlfriends tell me it hurts and the only reason they do it is because their boyfriends ask for it. My boyfriend hasn’t asked - I just really want to try, but I’m scared. I feel like a total creep. Can you help me?

Love,

Worried.

Dear Worried,

Thank you for your email! You want to know something? Anal is actually one of the things I am written to about the most! You have nothing to be worried about - when done correctly, between two mutually respecting people, it can be one of the more fulfilling and wonderful sexual experiences!
